Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma"

This phase II trial tests how well enfortumab vedotin (EV) and pembrolizumab works in treating patients with bladder cancer of variant histology (a group of less common types of bladder cancer) that have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Enfortumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, enfortumab, linked to an anticancer drug called vedotin. Enfortumab attaches to a protein called nectin-4 on cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. It is a type of antibody-drug conjugate. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab may kill more tumor cells in patients with locally advanced or metastatic bladder cancer of variant histology.

Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and change in disease activity when ABBV-400 is given to adult participants to treat advanced solid tumors. ABBV-400 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. Study doctors put the participants in groups called cohorts. Each cohort receives ABBV-400 alone (monotherapy) followed by a safety follow-up period. Approximately 220 adult participants with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), biliary tract cancers (BTC), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), hormone receptor+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer (hormone receptor-positive [HR+]/HER2-breast cancer [BC]), head and neck squamous-cell-carcinoma (HNSCC), or advanced solid tumors, will be enrolled in the study in approximately 60 sites worldwide. In the each cohorts, participants with the following advanced solid tumor indications: HCC, PDAC, BTC, ESCC, TNBC, HR+/HER2-BC, and HNSCC will receive intravenous (IV) ABBV-400 monotherapy for up to 2 years during and up to the treatment period with an additional safety follow-up period of up to 2 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerance of sitagliptin combined with gemcitabine and albumin-bound paclitaxel in subjects with locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

The concomitant co-mutation with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation might influence the clinical outcomes. The investigators will identify the impact of concommitant mutation on clinical outcome in patients with advanced -EGFR mutated adenocarcinoma. The investigators will compare the genetic alterations between tumors of pre and post Tyrosin Kinase Inhibitor(TKI) treatments and predict the resistance mechanism for EGFR-TKIs by next-generation sequencing(NGS) analysis.

The evidence on the value of aspirin, statins, metformin, beta-blocking ACE inhibitors agents as chemopreventive agents in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is limited. The aim of this study is to assess whether regular use of aspirin, statins, metformin, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitors and beta-blocking agents use, before diagnosis, after surgery and in neo-adjuvant treatment setting, can increase rate of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in participants with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The secondary aim is to evaluate if there is any difference in terms of "chemoprevention" between aspirin, statins, metformin and beta-blocking as chemopreventive agents, and if their prolonged daily use can positively influence the chemopreventive action. 400 patients with the following inclusion criteria will be enrolled in 3 years: cytological or histological diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in any portion of the gland, with or without metastases in other sites patient age between 18 and 90 years any medicine or drug in the daily patient therapy Patients undergone to primary chemoradiotherapy or surgical resection, followed by adjuvant therapy or preceded by neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, are included in the study Anamnestic, clinical and pathological data, included data on the aspirin, statins, metformin, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitors and beta-blocking agents assumption will be collected during the first visit with the surgeon. A database managed by a dedicated data manager will be created to collect and analyse data. Patients will be followed for at least 24 months The study will last overall 5 years.

The purpose of this research is to explore the benefits of an exercise and nutrition program during total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) in preparation for surgery for participants that have pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)

Patients with histologically confirmed esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma with pre-operative staging cT3-4N+M0，aged between 18-75 years old, with adequate organ function and having an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score ≤2, are randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with DT46-50Gy plus concomitant weekly oxaliplatin and 5-Fu, perioperative chemotherapy of FLOT regimen or FOLFOX regimen. The primary end point is disease free survival (DFS), and secondary end point is 5-year overall survival (OS), pathological complete remission (pCR) and treatment safety. The final study analytics are to be conducted at the end of the 5th year after the last patient's enrollment.

In 2007 and 2013, the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guidelines applied the diagnostic criteria of sMPLC （synchronous multiple primary lung cancers）, and the diagnostic criteria of Martini and Melamed were extended and developed, Summarized as: (1) different histological types, different genetic characteristics, or different origin of carcinoma in situ; (2) the histological type is the same, the tumor is located in different lung or different lung lobes, the common lymphatic drainage site of lung cancer is not cancerous, and there is no extrapulmonary metastasis at the time of diagnosis. Postoperative staging of each tumor was carried out in sMPLC patients, if all of them were stage I lung adenocarcinoma, whether adjuvant therapy could fully refer to the treatment principle of stage I NSCLC was considered, whether the benefit of subsequent application of adjuvant chemotherapy was still unclear, and whether adjuvant therapy was needed or not has been determined. High-throughput sequencing, also known as "Next generation" sequencing (NGS), is characterized by sequencing of hundreds of thousands to millions of DNA molecules in parallel, and generally shorter reads.For multiple tumor lesions resected by sMPLC, only biopsy gene information from a single cancer focus may not be enough to identify all active driver gene mutations from the tumor. Therefore, NGS sequencing was proposed for all cancer lesions of sMPLC patients to reflect the full picture of gene mutation in such patients. The investigators initiated this prospective clinical study to detect lung cancer related genes in tumor tissues and patients with at least 2 tumors that were confirmed as invasive adenocarcinoma by pathology after sMPLC resection (residual non-resectable or non-qualitative pulmonary nodules). At the same time, application of NGS technology to test lung cancer related genes in patients' tumor tissues and blood, patients with lung cancer drive genes were followed up to explore whether different drive genes had an impact on patients' disease progression. In order to investigate the type of gene that causes disease recurrence in patients, tissue or blood test was performed again when disease recurrence occur.

This is a two-part, Phase II, open-label, single arm, multi-center study to determine the efficacy of pembrolizumab in combination with TAS-102 (trifluridine/tipiracil) in patients with advanced gastric cancer who have progressed after prior treatment with or without anti-PD-1/PD-L1 agent, and to further assess the safety and tolerability of this combination treatment.
